Default Good or Bad to mount ESC inside electrical box.?

I just purchased a Tekin FXR, & in the process of mounting it, it fits well inside my electrical box since the FXR is small, I would have my receiver inside as well traxxis link 2.4 ghz. Will their be any problem with heat

I run my scaler ESC's inside sealed plastic boxes for waterproofing. I have not had any problems from overheating over the years.

Only from leaking boxes.

Cells....I should have also asked "LiPO or NiCAD/Nimh"....my bad.
Sounds like a 6 cell NiMH pack?

You should be OK with that load & input voltage with everything in a box.

You'll be fine. Crawlers don't get nearly as hot as the go fast RCs.
